... What Would Happen If No Goverment FundsOct 03, 2013 What I just heard on TV is absolutely incredible.

The Mysterious Mystery Of Disappearing Funds Sep 13, 2016 Donald Trump was in a tuxedo, standing next to his award: a statue of a palm tree, as tall as a toddler. It was 2010, and Trump was being honored by a charity — the Palm Beach Police Foundation — for his “selfless support” of its cause.

Trump had earlier gone to a charity in New Jersey — the Charles Evans Foun ... Obama Stimulus Funds Went To California Feb 20, 2017 The 2009 stimulus package funded millions of dollars for safety improvements for a dam in California that was in “good shape,” but not to the Oroville Dam that is now on the verge of a spillway crisis.
Nearly 200,000 residents north of Sacramento were ordered to evacuate after fears that erosion would cause the emergency spillway to fail, which would lead to “catastrophic flooding“ from a 30-foot wall of water.
Despite more than a decade of warnings about Oroville, there is no publ ...

Politifact Results Are In On Overseas Stimulus FundsSep 08, 2012 These results are from PAGE 1 of 10 on stimulus funds claims, many of which were made by the Romney camp in their recently launched offensive that would appear to be based on a compulsion to squirm and fib in an effort to deflect attention away from Romney’s offshore accounts.
